When an internet connection is not available, there is an Offline Mode that still permits document work to be done.

There, users are able to edit and store their text files, with all data automatically saved instantly as they work.

There has been a lot of talk surrounding Apple’s personal hotspot feature, specifically it’s capability of only supporting 3 wireless connections (as opposed to 5 like many other devices). Well, we have been told it’s all left to the carrier to decide. If a carrier requests it, five devices will be supported, but by default, it’s three.

Oh, and we’ve also been told iOS 4.3 will be available for download publicly at 10AM PT today. Fire up iTunes and get your update trigger-finger ready!

Apple publicly announced that it will release iOS 4.3 on March 11th in a press release. "iOS 4.3 will be available to iPad, iPhone and iPod touch users as a free software update on Friday, March 11." However, BGR has correctly predicted release times in the past.

Update:The Loop is reporting that the update may actually come tomorrow instead.

The speculation of iOS coming early seems to be solid, it’s just the day that’s off. If I were sitting waiting for iOS 4.3 to hit, I’d be ready tomorrow.

Adobe has announced Flash Player 10.3 Beta which brings new features including a Control Panel and Update Notifications for Mac

Key new capabilities in Flash Player 10.3 include:● Media Measurement — Measuring video just got easier. With Flash Player 10.3 and Adobe SiteCatalyst, developers can implement video analytics with as little as two lines of code. Analytics solutions can use a new set of open APIs to easily implement consistent video analytics irrespective of implementation or delivery protocol. Media Measurement for Flash allows companies to get real-time, aggregated reporting of how their video content is distributed, what the audience reach is, and how much video is played.● Acoustic Echo Cancellation — Flash Player 10.3 enables developers to create real-time online collaboration experiences with high-quality audio, such as telephony, in-game voice chat, and group conferencing applications. Developers can take advantage of acoustic echo cancellation, noise suppression, voice activity detection, and automatic compensation for various microphone input levels. End users will be able to experience higher quality audio facilitating smoother conversation flow, without using a headset.● Integration with browser privacy controls for managing local storage — Users now have a simpler way to clear local storage from the browser settings interface – similar to how users clear their browser cookies today. Flash Player 10.3 integrates control of local storage with the browser’s privacy settings in Mozilla Firefox 4, Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and higher, and future releases of Apple Safari and Google Chrome.● Native Control Panel — Flash Player 10.3 provides users with streamlined controls for managing their Flash Player privacy, security and storage settings. Windows, Mac, and Linux users can access the Flash Player Settings Manager directly from the Control Panels or System Preferences on their computers.● Auto-Update Notification for Mac OS — Flash Player 10.3 supports automatic notification of software updates on Mac OS, making it easier for Mac users to stay current with new capabilities in the latest version of Flash Player.

Skype has announced the launch of advertising which will appear in the Skype Home tab starting this week.

We believe that advertising, when done in the right way, will help us continue to invest in developing great products.

Details:● We’re working with some great advertisers, including Groupon, Universal Pictures, and Visa.● Ads will appear in the US, UK and Germany and advertising sales for Skype are initially focused in those markets.● You may only see ads occasionally. Our initial plan is to show an ad from one brand per day in each of the markets where advertising is being sold.● The ads will appear in the Home tab in Skype for Windows, and we may experiment with ads in other areas as well.● The ads won’t interrupt your Skype experience. You won’t suddenly see annoying pop-up ads or flashy banner ads in middle of conversations.● We may use non-personally identifiable demographic data (e.g. location, gender and age) to target ads, which helps ensure that you see relevant ads. For example, if you’re in the US, we don’t want to show you ads for a product that is only available in the UK.● You can opt out of allowing Skype to share this non-personally identifiable demographic data with advertisers from the Privacy tab in Tools ▸ Options.

You can see an example ad below...

Adobe has posted a prelease of its Wallaby Flash to HTML5 conversion tool for download.

"Wallaby" is the codename for an experimental technology that converts the artwork and animation contained in Adobe Flash Professional (FLA) files into HTML. Wallaby is not a final product and is still in the testing and validation phase. We are not yet able to commit to a roadmap for this experimental technology.

You can download at this link or watch the video by swfgeek to see it in action.

The Verizon iPhone 4 has reportedly been flashed to work on Cricket Wireless in the United States, according to Engadget.

Ready to jump ship from "America's largest?" Of course, you'll have to jailbreak, install some third party MMS software, and trust some random dude at the Cricket store with your precious smartphone. We're not saying it's wise, but it is possible, as the video below attests.

Take a look...
